[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The Olle Trail that allows visitors to fully enjoy Pohang's representative tourist attraction, 'Oeosa,' a thousand-year-old Silla temple and scenic site, will soon reveal its complete form.

According to Pohang City on the 25th, a trekking course stretching 7 km centered around 'Oeji,' one of Pohang's 12 scenic spots, will open at the end of October. Oeji is a pond located in Hangsa-ri, Ocheon-eup, Pohang, known as the source of Sin-gwangcheon, a tributary of the cold stream. Notably, near this area is Oeosa, founded during the Silla period, famous as a tourist attraction visited by many people throughout all four seasons.

The Oeji Olle Trail is a trekking road totaling 7 km, one of Pohang's 12 scenic spots, featuring the beautiful natural scenery of Unje Mountain and utilizing the history and cultural resources of Oeosa, a thousand-year-old Silla temple and scenic site. It is a representative tourist attraction of Pohang, attracting many visitors throughout the year.

Of the total 7 km, Pohang City completed 6 km in 2017. This April, construction began on a 1 km section of the Olle Trail towards Anhangsa and the installation of an observatory, with final work underway to complete it by October.

This project includes the installation of a deck road to enhance pedestrian safety and convenience, along with a 1.3 km barefoot walking path paved with loam soil. According to Pohang City, the natural scenery combining blue water and lush greenery will not only provide visual enjoyment but also greatly contribute to health improvement.

The Oeji Olle Trail features Wonhyo Bridge at the entrance of Oeosa, Oeji pedestrian bridge, Gwan-eojeong Pavilion, Mangunjeong Pavilion, Metasequoia forest, two observatories, and rest areas, allowing visitors to appreciate historical stories and various sights.

On the 22nd, Pohang Mayor Lee Kang-deok, who visited the site, said, "Once the pedestrian bridge connecting the Oeji embankment and the Anhangsa section of the Olle Trail is completed, it will become a complete trail circling around Oeji inside the reservoir," adding, "It is the best healing space where history and nature meet and harmonize beautifully."
